H1Z1: King of the Kill vs Mavericks: Proving Grounds
H1Z1: King of the Kill
H1Z1: King of the Kill is a competitive, battle royale-styled MMOTPS game set in a post-apocalyptic world where everyone's fair game as you scavenge for supplies and materials to gain the upper hand. Gameplay-wise, the game is pretty fast-paced and intense especially when the map shrunk to a relatively small area, but of course, to be a pro, you'll need to put in the effort and the commitment to improve. Newcomers might find the skill ceiling a bit high though so you can expect to be fodder for quite sometime until you are familiar with the few maps available and know which stuff are hazards and which aren't.The shooting mechanics in this game is pretty arcade-like I suppose - it's the hit-or-miss type without the chance of getting glancing blows, and there might be a few weapons that might need adjusting - shotguns for example - but it's still okay overall. However, if you are to compare this game with another battle royale game like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), you'll find this game seriously lacking.
So, if you've got the cash to buy either H1Z1: King of the Kill or PUBG, we'd actually recommend getting PUBG since the game has a ton of players right now and you won't need to wait too long to get into a game. Not to mention, PUBG does have a lot of stuff that's better than H1Z1. But if you like having lots of skins or if you have a lower end PC, then H1Z1: King of the Kill might be your best bet.
Mavericks: Proving Grounds
Mavericks: Proving Grounds is an ambitious, 400-player battle royale game that includes some form of virtual world game elements to make it more social. What do we mean by that? Well, basically, there's a central, social hub where you can meet, chat and interact with other players. Similar to a virtual world game or an MMORPG, there are shops manned by NPCs here along with a nice selection of mini-games for you to enjoy during your downtimes outside of the "Proving Grounds". There's even a shooting range for you to test your skills.In terms of gameplay, Mavericks: Proving Grounds provides a massive 16km x 16km-sized map, which is dubbed as the Isle of Dern, that's filled with immaculate details like buildings, forests and the like. You'll then search these locations for chests or boxes containing the weapons or tools you need Considering the vastness of the map, there are vehicles you can drive around too.
Admittedly, it's pretty much similar to PUBG in many ways, but what truly makes this game unique is its physically-sound destructible environments. For instance, let's say an enemy is taking pot-shots at you from a forest but you can't see where he is... all you need to do is light the entire place on fire and smoke him out. There are also special specialist hardware that are powerful to use but can be really hard to find. These items will give you more strategic opportunities to get at your opponents.
The game has a bit of RPG in it mainly due to its emphasis on narrative and how every battle you fight in may determine the fate of the world. Through a unique reputation system, you can fight for the faction of your choice, either The Capital or one of The Factions, by completing achievements or simply by performing well in-game. Naturally, each faction provides you with their own sets of benefits.
Mavericks will be free-to-play once it is officially released, but it will also offer a premium, citizenship program. Likely a subscription program, having a citizenship will grant you some perks, allowing you to say earn more in-game currency and prestige, access to premium cosmetics and more.
